After a few days of tweeting, that included my question about his restaurant (assuming he would be working in the restaurant full-time these days… @frankklose 44 oz porterhouse — Roy Oswalt's Website (@royoswalt44net) May 2, 2013 Roy Oswalt has signed: #Rockies have agreed to terms on a Minor League contract w/ 3-time All-Star Roy Oswalt.

Wow, what a finish in the American League. The Texas Rangers, widely favored in the American League prior to the season, must settle for the Wild Card after getting swept by the Oakland Athletics in the season-end series in Oakland. The Oakland Athletics, not picked for the playoffs by any of ESPN's 50 analyists prior […]
We have spent so much time talking about Cole Hamels, maybe we have failed to consider another starter the Phillies could trade: Cliff Lee. CBS's Danny Knobler reported today that while the Texas Rangers really want Cole Hamels or Zack Greinke, Cliff Lee could be on their radar again. Jim Salisbury of CSN reports that […]
While the Phillies may be preparing a large offer for Cole Hamels, other teams salivate on the sidelines, hoping that he may be available.

According to the Dallas Morning News, the Rangers and Roy Oswalt have reached agreement: The length and terms of the deal with Oswalt could not be determined. He is […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani We knew Roy Oswalt was going to sign soon, and despite reports that Oswalt had been working out for the Phillies, it appears that he may land with the Texas Rangers. The move makes sense for the Rangers, as they just lost Neftali Feliz to the disabled list. There was speculation […]
We figured that a suspension was forthcoming and showed that the last two pitchers suspended for throwing at players were each suspended five games a piece. We formally learned that Cole Hamels got his own five-game suspension from MLB. We wondered if Hamels would be penalized more for admitting that he threw at Harper. […]
The 2012 team should be another year of exciting baseball. A lot of teams got better, which should help even the playing field and challenge the usual favorites like the Phillies, Yankees and Red Sox.
